Hi Dark, it's quite symple. All you do is get yourself a lodgitech or
however you spell it headset with mike attatched, then what you do is
plug in the usb to your computer, and once the software is automatically
installed and the computer recognises it as a device, you then download
a neat piece of software called soundtap, which is what I use. It's got
lots of features, but the only ones you'll need are the start and stop
recording button, which is basically a toggle, and before that if you
tab around with your Jaws or nvda, it should say something like record
using mike, that's a check box, and you hit space to check it if you
want to record the game pluss your dulset tones. Presto, you have both
your voice and the game coming through your headphones instead of
speakers. :) Sadly it isn't free, I forget the price for the basic
package, however there is a demo you can download just to give you an
idea of how it is. The lodgitech headset is also really cheap too, very
light weight and great for skype calls.
To your next odd cast. From Lori.

Hi Lori
Actually, the music on the podcast about mota was from the access
collective, which are a set of podcasts done by Barry elice aka
skallagrigg, the webmaster of oneswitch.org.uk which does for
physically impared gamers what audiogames.net does for vi ones.
He was the one who arranged the demos and added the music.
Unfortunately, I can’t play on headphones because I haven’t ever
worked out how to get my computer to record my voice, and the
computer’s output, and still play through headphones, it’s all a bit
of a confusion.
Hell, I haven’t even got the stand mikes I bought to work normally on
windows 10 with kortana or anything else, so dont’ ask me.
I recorded the podcasts with a very old, but still very functional
Rowland r09 digital sterrio recorder, which is why I used speakers,
and that is likely what I’d use again since the world of audio
recording is a bloody confusing one to me (hell as I said Iam most
disappointed with window’s ten’s attempt at a siri like intervface
given it doesn’t even recognize the mikes let alone get any sound from
them).
So, if I do another odcast it’ll have to be something I can play on
speakers, which puts swamp right out of the picture, ---- besides
there are already far too many good audio reviews and such on swamp
anyway.
As for The Gate, since I had trouble with the demo and don’t even own
the game itself I probably wouldn’t do one for that any time soon,
especially with the need to play on speakers which in such a difficult
game as The gate could be asking for trouble.
Sorry to be disappointing.
All the best,
Dark.

Hi Dark, you should do one on Swamp next or maybe The Gate, but please
please please, a billion times please, remember to play with
headphones not on speakers lol. I hated seeing you die in mota, it
broke my heart.
I do however love your voice and your style of presenting, I let my
sister hear the opening to the podcast and she cracked up laughing at
the opening music saying it sounded like a cheerful hamster dancing a
jig. Now I think about it, it would make a funny ring or text tone,
the kind which would so get on someone's nerves on a train if turned
up loud.

Hi Lori.
Yes, I confess I particularly miss Tom with me having got
married last year since over on the audeiogames.net forum we
often discussed relationships etc, and I really would’ve liked to
tell him about things, especially with me married to a yanky 😃.
I really ought to see about doing another one of my castings of
the pod about something or other, possibly the Cog or hg games,
though again time and motivation and all of those things 😃.
All the best,
Dark.

Thanks Dark, wow I didn't even know that page was out there, I
thought the asmodean site had just dropped for some wierd reason
and was worried it'd had been hacked. I listened to your podcast
with the 3 audio game reviews, and although I enjoyed it emencely,
it's made me feel a bit sad again that Thomas Ward is no longer
around. anymore. I even wish I still had that beta demo of TH to
play, but it's on my old old old computer, and as I'm on my old
computer at the moment, I've no way of reaching it. I wondered
who the girl's voice was in TH, the one playing Angela Carter? I
sure miss that game.

Hi Lori.
No need for dropbox on this occasionsince the audiogames
archive has everything covered.
You can find all of Raul’s recordings on
Also, if you check out the recordings page you’ll find some
other good stuff (plus some podcasts by none other than yours
truly).
It’s actually a great resource.
All the best,
Dark.

Hi guys, I just tried to find the audio game recordings
someone very
kindly sent me, the ones done by Raul Gallegos from the Asmodean
website, but for some reason the folder hasn't coppied
properly to my
dropbox, and as I can't remember who sent me them to begin
with, I was
wondering if anyone had them and could dropbox them to me, so
I can copy
and paste them to my recordings folder in dropbox where they
should have
been in the first place if my dropbox hadn't went all over the
place lol.
I'm not sure what's wrong with the asmodean site, it looks
like all the
content is gone, but there's no file 504 not found message,
just some
wierd domain links which don't make sense to me.
Hope someone can help, as I could really do with a chuckle at
all those
old Pipe2 recordings again.
Thanks from Lori.
